The Okanagan Valley is a winter wonderland for skiers and snowboarders alike, with incredible ski destinations that cater to all levels. From well-known resorts to hidden gems, the Penticton area offers everything you need for an unforgettable ski experience.

      

Apex Mountain Resort

Located just 40 minutes west of Penticton, Apex Mountain Resort is a local favourite. Known for its light, powdery snow and varied terrain, it’s perfect for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. Their 3- and 4-day passes offer excellent savings, making it easy to plan an affordable weekend getaway.

Apex also features well-maintained cross-country skiing trails that can be added to your pass for a reasonable price, giving you even more ways to explore their pristine wilderness. The Nickel Plate Nordic Centre just next to Apex Mountain boasts over 50 kilometres of groomed trails, high-elevation snow, and breathtaking views. It’s a paradise for those who love the serenity of the backcountry.
